Amazon.com is adding same-day shipping in the Philadelphia area.
However, Delaware is not part of the initial rollout. Amazon has been gearing up for the change, with heavy hiring at its distribution centers in Middletown and other locations.
The company’s “Get It Today” service was also added for customers in Baltimore, Dallas, Indianapolis, New York City and Washington DC metro areas, with more than a million eligible items now available for same-day delivery.
Items include movies, video games, last-minute travel needs, back-to-school supplies and family necessities. Prime members pay $5.99 for all the same-day delivery items they can order.
Customers can order as late as noon, seven days a week and get things like popular movies, video games, last-minute travel needs, back-to-school supplies and family necessities delivered to their home the same day. Prime members pay $5.99 for all the same-day delivery items they can order. More information is available at www.amazon.com/sameday.
“Imagine how much time you will save now that you can get sunscreen, memory cards, toothpaste, hit movies, text books and HDMI cables all delivered to your home in hours, seven days a week, in one order from Amazon,” said Greg Greeley, vice president, Amazon Prime. “New convenient pricing also allows Prime members to fill up their same-day shopping cart with everything they may need for one low price. With more than a million eligible items, we aim to offer the largest same-day selection at the lowest price.”
